It would seem they actually do whitelist some of their own stuff - specifically those weird "Microsoft Viva" emails that Outlook users get. A year or two ago, I did get Outlook to classify those emails as "Junk" automati

I fail to see the contradiction in my post. I clearly wrote that a language shall NOT be opinionated, shall NOT be constrained, that it should not tell the developer what to do. I wrote the developers should use their own opinion, set their

I'm not sure "powerful" is the right term. What actually seems to be needed is more consistency in usage. Opinionated conventions on how to properly use something. I don't think it's a problem of a language to be un

Not necessarily only US and Canada. Support for tipping is actually a much requested feature for the payment software of the company I'm working for, especially with customers from the restaurant business. I don't know though, whi

In some countries like afaik Japan, it's customary to NOT tip and actually leaving a tip might be seen as an insult - as if you tried to insinuate they aren't paying their employees enough. I don't know why here in the west i
